XnConvert shows the image automatically rotated

Hi,
I have a lot of pictures organized in several folders.
When I load them in XNConvert, some of them the program shows as they are, as shown in windows explorer, some of them it shows as rotated by +90 degree.

This causes errors when I apply some actions, like cropping, because it is not possible to calculate the pixels that should be cropped.
I have observed that for all of these images, there is a rotation arrow sign in the thumbnail, whereas for the others which are displayed normally there is not.
Please advice why some images are rotated automatically by the program.

Your pictures have the exif orientation field, so XnConvert use it...

Hi Pierre,
Thank you for this information.
Please advice how I can remove this EXIF information flag, so that the program shows the picture not rotated, independently of the EXIF flag.

Thank you
Mikel

you can remove it with XnView, but perhaps it will be good to have a settings in XnConvert...

Hi Pierre,
I checked all the settings in xnconvert, but I do not see any settings that allow to bypass or ignore the "rotate" flag.
Please help me, where is this setting in xnconvert?

Thank you.

Mikel.

Hi Pierre,
Ok, thank you very much on this. I would be good to have also such a setting here.
BTW, even on XNView, I have not realized how to "ignore" the EXIF orientation flag. Is it possible that you advice me how to do it on XNView?

Thank you
Mikel
